Baker presents a truly nightmarish scenario (on many levels) which twists and turns like you wouldnt believe. Considering the isolation and inaccessibility of the refinery location, he manages to spin the tale off in several unexpected directions whilst still maintaining an air of claustrophobic hopelessness.
